...another view of Trencin...

The Trencin castle, situated on a rocky hill above the Trencin city, was in 1790 destroyed by fire. Its reconstruction started after 1945. In March 2003, a stone part of its western fortification (1100 tons) falled down. It´s a national cultural memorial.

The City of Trencin, Slovakia is in the center of the Povazie region. It is located in western Slovakia of the central Vah river valley near the Czech border, around 120 km from Bratislava. It is the administrative center of the Trencin Regional Government Unit. It has a famous medieval castle, standing on a rock above the city.

Thanks to its advantageous location, Trencin is an important commercial, economic, cultural and sport center. It is also known as the “City of fashion“. Numerous institutions and companies have their headquarters and branches located in Trencin. Expositions and fairs also have a long lasting tradition in Trencin. Current population estimates for Trencin is 60,000.

Together with Nitra and Bratislava, Trencin belongs to the oldest Slovak cities, chronicled as early as in the 11th century. Its strategic location near three Carpathian mountain passes on the crossroads of commercial routes, has always determined the character of the city as a significant landmark. As early as in the ancient times, the famous Jasper Road used by the Etruscan, Greek, and later Roman merchants to transport precious jasper from the Baltic region, was crossing Trencin. The site of Trencin has been inhabited since time immemorial. Trencin Castle, a typical medieval fortified castle is situated high on a rock above the city. Trencin is best known for a Roman inscription on the rock below the Trencin Castle dating from 179 AD. It denotes the site as Laugaricio and is the most northern evidence of the presence of Roman soldiers in central Europe.

Hello Ivana,

La partie dans l'ombre est un peu trop présente et gâche un peu le socle de cette statue. La citadelle dans les hauteurs est de plus un peu trop recouverte par le haut la statue. Je pense que le point de vue aurait pu être mieux choisi.
Toutefois, la qualité de l'image est très bonne.

A+

Hello Ivana,
Again a very good image quality and a wonderful composition. I like the succession of peaks formed by the statue and the 2 towers. Maybe the shadow in the foreground would need some additional work?
Have a nice day.
Best regards, Christian

Hi Ivana,

A stone part of 1100 tons... That's not just a small piece of stone. That's about 650 Land Rover station wagons falling down! :-)
And the monument in the foreground? Is that for the castle? Or with another reason?
Nice point of view!

Greetings,
Dennis

Ivana,
Nice exposure management here.
Again you show us a great architecture, in the right way.
Regards,
JB.

Hi Ivana,

First of all, love the framing, love the type treatment.

If I may suggest, the next time you take a shot in this harsh light condition, welll lite and strong shadows, do an HDR. It actually sounds more complicates than what it is is.

First do some bracketing, 3 shots a different exposures should be more than enough, then in PS merge the 3 shots using the HDR option. In the end you will get a balanced shot between the lighted area and the shadow, full of details and textures.

Another trick you can use, is to use the Shadows/Highlight tool in PS. It does a great job fixing the contrast between the two areas.

Hope you find these tips helpful.
Cheers,
Enrique
